>Part of Plech's doping modus operandi has always been that he continues to "treat" his Grade I stars when backing off on the rest of his stable.<

This is one of the most ridiculous things you've said on this issue. It was just a year or two ago when many of TP's very best stakes horses were misfiring at CD during the week of the Derby that people were saying he backed off because of new testing for Graded Stakes. Then when his horses ran poorly in the Derby it was supposedly for the same reason. The reality was that if you understood some of the more subtle aspects of their trips I believe all but one ran well and the other got hurt in the race and was out for a very long time.

This is all actually very simple.

There are many trainers where the evidence of chronic "illegal" performance enhancement is very high. TP is not one of them. That doesn't mean he isn't using illegal drugs now or hasn't used them in the past, but there are very LOGICAL reasons for his stats as a trainer and the performances of most of his horses. That's not the case elsewhere. So the burden is on those that think he is doing something illegal to PROVE it. The problem is that his critics refuse to acknowledge that or can't understand it. They would rather just hurl accusations.
